Looking for wormsign...


More a picture the new bags I got during Nashbar's Le Tour sale than my bike. Louis Garneau panniers and front basket/satchel/purse thingy. Also a Banjo Bros. trunk bag. The Panniers are AWESOME - when they first came they seemed dinky, but boy do they expand! I haven't had to use two yet, so far one has always been sufficient. The trunk bag holds my lock and flat kit, and it stays on my bike. I'm in a low crime area and if someone really wants my tire levers that badly they can have them. The front "basket" I got so that I could have a way to tote around my phone, keys, and wallet and quickly take it inside. The quick release on the mounting bracket is nice and sturdy, but the bracket itself isn't really the right size for my handlebars. I had to do some creative free-style shimming with an old innertube to make it fit, and as you can see, the way it sticks out from the handlebars makes it sag. But for the sale price it was worth it.

I also found some retroreflective star stickers and put them on the fenders, because I am apparently 8 years old on the inside.
